Girl in ice by Erica Ferencik


 This was a very good book. A page turner and very interesting in a way that it was different than any other kind of book that I've read before. Did learn something as will.

Val Chesterfield is a linguist train to study languages. Her brother Andy was a climate scientist and was in Greenland's barren coast and he died there. She blamed Wyatt for what happened because he worked for him. She didn't believe the story that was given. 

Then, one day she gets a message from Wyatt that he had a girl there that he found and she wasn't speaking an language he was understanding and he wanted her to come to the Arctic to help him understand her. She had gone to see her dad, told him what was asked of her and her dad said maybe she should go. It was a trip she was a little iffy on. Her dad talked her into it. 

She wasn't the only one's going. She met Nora and her husband Raj. They were doing some research up there. She wasn't going to be alone. When they got there. Wyatt told them this story about finding the girl frozen in ice. At first, they didn't believe him at all. Val went into the room she was staying in and looked at her. She was all dirty and wearing an old Christmas sweater. She looked like she had been through something. 

Jeanne was a lady that did all the cooking and fixing of things there. She seemed harmless. The longer she was there trying to figure out what language the girl spoke the more the girl started to show her pictures of stuff she was trying to tell Val. 

Wyatt started to suspect that Val was hiding things from him. He started showing her a side of himself that made her nervous. She had been learning some of her language and was trying to tell him about it, but he didn't seem to want to know that. She knew there was something else going on. So, while they were out doing some things, she started snooping. She found slides he had been hanging onto. She took the girl which she named, Sigrid, with her, out to the dome where Nora and Raj were doing there work. They started to like the girl. It just took them time to get used to her. 

After some time, the girl started to get sick. They didn't know what to do. Sigrid, did try to tell Val what needed to happen to help her and Val tried to tell Wyatt and he called her a liar. Things are going to happen and it may not be good. 

Pick up the book if you want to know what happens. Remember to check old the older posts, you might find a new book to pick up. 

Well, I'm off to start a new book. Enjoy a good book, you never know what is out there, tell you find it.

It never works out. Sophie don't care. She's going to do everything she can to make sure it happens. He does see how pretty she is and notices that he's looking at her. 

Agatha, really knows that she doesn't belong. Some of the girls call her a witch. In some ways she believes she might be. She also knows that if she can go see the head master who's in a tower away from everyone else. That maybe he can help both her and Sophie get back home.

Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson


 This is the second book the Stormlight archive series. Its a 1303 page book and I'm sorry it's taken me so long to read this.

Shallan and Jasnah are on a boat, on their way to the shattered plains. They are trying to get there to share their findings. Shallan is still studying all she can to figure out as much as she can to help Jasnah out. But, the trip is shortened when she hears noises coming from down the way and finds Jasnah on the floor and covered in blood. She knows that Jasnah is dead and she may be the next. She has to think fast and ends up destorying the ship by sinking it. 

She ends up on shore pretty much hurt and hardly being able to walk. She hears noises again and its a few wagons going the other direction then, where she wants to go. She talks the driver and the few other he's with into taking her to the shattered plains. She promises him to pay him when she arrives safely. 

Kaladin ends up becoming a guard with the rest of bridge four. In the process of that, the other bridge crews are offered jobs too. He knows that there are things he doesn't understand. Syl is still there trying to help him as much as possible. He is now protecting Dalinar and the king, whom he really doesn't like. He tries to keep his feelings out of his job as much as he can. 

He also spends so time trying to practice what he knows he can do. These things will probably come in handy as the days go by. His life has been hard for awhile and he's learning to not let things get to him.

Dalinar has still been having visions. For Dalinar, he knows that the Knight Radiants are coming back. Navini has been helping him figure this out with him. His life is going to change and he just doesn't know yet. Navini knows that her daughter will be coming tell she finds out that Jasnah is dead. 

Things are going to change and besides the war that they have been fighting for years now. 

I don't want to blow the whole book. It's really a good book. I even think it's better then, the first book. Read it, starting with the first one. 

I'm going to go start my next book.
